{ கோடி விந்தணு
மோதி வென்று நீ
மண்ணில் வந்தவன்
மறக்காதே } (2)
Out of millions of sperm cells,
You fought and won,
Don't forget you came to this world as a victor.
பிறக்கும் முன்னமே
வெற்றி கண்டவன் சின்ன
புள்ளியில் சறுக்காதே
Even before your birth,
You tasted victory,
So do not stumble at a small dot of obstacle.
முதலில் எதிர்த்த
கல்லில் நதிகள் நின்றால்
தேங்கி குறுகி ஆவியாகி
தொலையும்
If rivers stopped at the first stone
That opposed their path,
They would stagnate, shrink,
And evaporate into air.
முட்டை ஓட்டு
விதியை மீற பயந்தால்
பறவை என்று நீண்ட
வானம் அடையும்
If a bird feared to break
The shell of its egg,
How could it ever
Reach the vast open sky?
தட்டித்தட்டி
மாதம் உடைந்த போதும்
முட்டி முட்டி நிலவு
முழுமை அடையும்
Chipping away day by day,
As the month breaks through,
By continuously striving,
The moon reaches its full glory.
முயன்று பாரு
நீயும் வியர்வைத் துளிகள்
விதியை கரைத்து ஓடும்
You too give it a try,
Your drops of sweat
Will melt away fate and flow.
நிற்காதே நிக்காதே
சரியா சரியா சரியா சரியா
எழுந்திடு உடைய உடைய
உடைய உடைய இணைந்திடு
Do not stop, do not stop!
As you crumble, as you crumble,
Rise up every time you fall!
As you shatter, as you shatter,
Unite and rebuild yourself!
.....................................
பிறக்கும்போது
எல்லோர் பையிலும்
இறைவன் சமமாய்
நிறைகின்றான் ஒருவன்
பையில் ஒன்றை எடுத்தால்
நிகராய் வேறு குடுக்கின்றான்
When born,
In everyone's pocket,
God equally
Fills resources.
If He takes away one thing
From someone's pocket,
He gives another
Equally in return.
யாருக்கும் நீ
குறைவே இல்லை
எல்லோர் வானிலும்
நிலவோ வெள்ளை
உயர்வும் தாழ்வும்
உந்தன் கையில் மட்டும்
உழைக்கும் கைக்கு
வெற்றிக்கதவு எட்டும்
You are not inferior
To anyone at all;
In everyone's sky,
The moon shines bright white.
Highs and lows
Are solely in your own hands;
To the hand that works hard,
The door of success opens.
திறமைகள்
ஏராளம் படைத்தவன்
வீழ்ந்த கதைகளோ
இங்குண்டு
There are plenty of stories
Of talented people who fell,
Right here...
உழைத்தவன்
எந்நாளும் கதைகளில்
கூட விழுந்ததே கிடையாது
But a hard worker,
Even in stories,
Has never been seen defeated.
முடிவெடு
போராட உனைத்தொட
பயந்து தடைகள் பின்னோடும்
Decide to fight;
Afraid to touch you,
Obstacles will turn and run.
நிமிர்ந்திடு
நீயாக எவன் வர
வேண்டும் உனக்கு
நீ போதும் நீ போதும்
நீ போதும் நீ போதும்
நீ போதும்
Stand tall on your own;
Why wait for anyone else to arrive?
You are enough for yourself!
You are enough... you are enough,
You are enough... you are enough!
பழகப்பழக
எதுவும் கைவரும்
விலகிப்போனால்
எல்லாம் தொலைந்திடும்
Through continuous practice,
Anything can be mastered.
If you step away,
Everything will be lost.
முயலும் வெல்லும்
ஆமையும் வெல்லும்
முயலாமைதான் வெல்லாது
யாரோ சொன்னா உண்மை
இதுதான் உள்ளே வை நீ மறவாது
The hare may win,
The tortoise may win,
Only inaction never wins!
Someone said this
Profound truth,
Keep it inside and never forget it.
தடையிடும்
கல்லை நீ உடைத்தெறி
முன்னேறிடு உடைத்ததும்
சாயாத தாண்டி நீ வென்றோடிடு
Break the stone that blocks your path
And move forward!
If it doesn't break,
Leap over it and win!
தாண்டவே
முடியாத கரையக்கூடும்
தொடர்ந்து முட்டி போனால்
கரைப்பதும் ஆகாதா சுற்றி நீண்ட
பாதை செல்லு ஆனால்
நிற்காதே
If it's an uncrossable shore,
Keep pushing against it,
And if you still cannot break through,
Take the longer path around it,
But... do not stop!
Do not stop... do not stop..
நிற்காதே
நிற்காதே நிற்காதே
நிற்காதே நிற்காதே
நிற்காதே நிற்காதே

Rise up every time you fall!
As you shatter, as you shatter,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a high-energy motivational anthem centered on resilience, self-reliance, and relentless perseverance. The lyrics remind the listener that human existence itself is born from overcoming overwhelming odds, making victory inherent to human nature. Through powerful metaphors—such as rivers carving paths through rocks, birds breaking eggshells to soar, and the moon waxing to its full shape—the song urges individuals to press forward regardless of the nature of obstacles in their path.
